ye des muflis-o-nadar kaj-kulahon ka
ye des be-zar-o-dinar badshahon ka
ki jis ki khaak men qudrat hai kimiyai ki
ye naiban-e-khudavand-e-arz ka maskan
ye nek paak buzurgon ki ruuh ka madfan
jahan pe chand sitaron ne jubba-sai ki
na jaane kitne zamanon se is ka har rasta
misal-e-khana-e-be-khanuman tha darbasta
khusha ki aaj ba-fazl-e-khuda vo din aaya
ki dast-e-ghaib ne is ghar ki dar-kushai ki
chune gae hain sabhi khaar is ki rahon se
suni gai hai bil-akhir barahna-pai ki
